Birdman is not a date night movie. We thought it was supposed to be a dark comedy. Michael Keaton and Emma Stone were amazing and I can see why Keaton won the Golden Globe. But it was depressing and foul-mouthed. Keaton's character was the actor, director and producer of a Broadway play, but earlier in his career he had been a movie star. Every character was deeply scared by their experiences in the acting profession and it was so hard to watch their pain. One of the difficulties was the hand held camera. In fact, it was like the camera was on a drone. I got nauseous and sweaty and we considered leaving. It's not a film I would ever care to see again.
This morning the girls were rehearsing a very humorous dance number called Heaven Hop. Kate is the featured character and for the first time she'll get to wear normal make up and costumes. She mimics the high-pitched, squeaky voice perfectly. I took sixty pictures and saved only six. The girls move so rapidly that most of the photos are blurred.
It was 32, bright and sunny today. The sun felt so wonderful! It was a blessing to have a little sun before the next big storm hits tomorrow.
